Totally late, I KNOW, and I never shared anything about Christmas, but needless to say, this has been a LONG, BUSY, OVERWHELMING holiday season! It has also been full of memories, happy, fun, etc. The beasts officially turned one on Jan 2nd. We had a huge birthday bash with family and friends and I think are just finally recovering from the big event. The boys have ther 1 yr appt in a couple weeks, so I will post updates when we know, but here's what we've got so far:
Austin is now walking. It's not a full fledged walk everywhere, but he can take up to 10 steps to get somewhere very slowly. He knows when he wants to get there fast to crawl, but he's getting very close! yah! He has 4 top teeth and is working on his 3rd and 4th bottom tooth. He is totally our social baby who smiles, talks, hugs and snuggles. He is also a little sensitive at times, but who can't love that :)
Brody is the climber. He climbs and crawls and gets into everything! He hears when we say no and just gives us the biggest smile like he knows he's doing something wrong. He isn't too interested in walking yet, but we figure once he sees his brothers do it he will want to. He has 4 top teeth and 4 bottom teeth. He LOVES to wrestle and play fight with Daddy. He is a pretty tough guy and gives Daddy and run for his money!
Caleb is also walking! The day after their birthday he started to take a bunch of steps on his own. He smiles and starts to clap his hands when he walks because he thinks it's so much fun! It's so cute! He has 4 top teeth and 4 bottom teeth. He is the most piggy of all the boys. He can eat forever and will eat pretty much anything you put in front of him. He shoves it into his chipmumk cheeks until they are stuffed full. He is a total Mommy's boy (yay!) and loves anything that lights up and sings!
Austie still holds onto the title of chunky baby. Although he weighs a little less than Caleb, he is much more "rolly" and chubby. He is definitly our most social and outgoing baby. When the door opens, he runs to see who it is and to say hi. He loves on pretty much anyone who will pick him up and gives big hugs, kisses, high fives, and all with a smile on his face. He is also our designated "nursery bully," whereas if he wants your toy...he will get it...by any means necessary. He can now say uh oh (fitting for him), mommy, daddy, up, hi, and no. He loves the word no. He will look at you like he is having a long conversation and you should know what he is saying but is still sounds like jibberish. He will pick up his play phone, hold it to his ear and say "Hi" just like his mom! He loves to dance when he hears music and actually has pretty good rythm. He sways his hips and waves his hands like he's doing the robot. He is learning to jog and goes up and down the hallway, stopping to say hi to anyone he sees. Austie is also really good at playing by himself, but he also really likes to show his brothers how much he loves them. He will give them big hugs (even when they don't want it) and try to snuggle them on the ground. He then squeezes his eyes closed and holds on tight like he wants to show them how excited he is to hug them. It's so sweet!
